About Young Farmers Childcare
About Education & Care Service
Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.
What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?
20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at Young Farmers Childcare, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“This centre is everything you would want for you child and more. The opportunities that are offered to the children are endless. Not only are the children provided engaging activities they also get to experience a farm life where they go and feed sheep, collect eggs from chickens and play with baby goats. My son has been here for a few months now and I’ve never seen him so happy. Every morning we enter young farmers we are greeted by staff with huge smiles. If you are looking for a centre that provides endless learning opportunities, top quality childcare then this is the place to be. Thank you to all the teachers for making my sons transition the smoothest it could be watching him thrive is the best feeling a mum could have.”
“This place is what childhoods should be about! My daughter absolutely loves it there. There is a large outdoor area to roam around in, farm animals to interact with ( my daughter even got to watch the vet at work), home cooked meals which takes the pressure off me and teachers that go out of their way to update me on how the day has gone for my daughter. I can’t believe she gets to spend her days there!”
“💯% best centre overall in the area wide open spaces excellent values and teachings and the staff are so experienced and the centre on a whole is definitely the best hands down”
“Great environment for children”
“Young Farmers Kumeū is a fantastic place for tamariki to learn and grow. Both my son and daughter love it here! The teachers are caring and really know each tamariki, creating a safe, fun environment. I love the mix of indoor and outdoor learning experiences that keep the tamariki engaged and happy. It truly feels like a second home for our family.”
